Trend Flash™ — Guimarães Home Fashion Week

June 27, 2018 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is sent only to Members if The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director, is in Portugal for this annual home-textiles fair. Her top trends are below. Look for more coverage in the next issue of The Trend Curve.

COLOR

  • Eucalyptus greens advanced as the key trend color
  • Yellows were rising
  • The same was true of terra-cotta colors
  • They often teamed with Millennial Pink or advancing antique rose
  • Purples had the wind at their backs
  • While grays worked as basics, browns offered more variety via nuanced shades

FIBERS AND WEAVES

  • Companies reported even more requests for eco collections
  • Organic and sustainable qualities had equal status
  • Bamboo and recycled soda-bottle fibers gained traction
  • Waffle, double and quad weaves provided must-have texture
  • Zero-twist technology resulted in a super-soft hand

THE LOOKS

  • Stone-washed textiles remained bestsellers
  • Melange looks offered the next update
  • Vintage was the style that mattered most
  • Space-dying techniques embraced up to five colors in one yarn
  • Shearing advanced, adding 3-D surface interest
  • Embellishments looked trend-right when used in multiples
